☆ MARCH ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ☆ |
|
|
This April we are shining a spotlight on Viktoria Majestic, AAWS Member and frequent teacher! The founder of the Yadkin River Art School, Viktoria is a renowned, cherished member of AAWS. Read her story from Eastern Europe to East Bend, NC below.

|
Excerpt from the article: "A self-proclaimed Impressionistic Traditional Realist, Viktoria is well-known in the local artist community. I’d only met her in passing, so I was nervous that morning. Viktoria has a reputation for greatness and high talent, and with a name like Viktoria Majestic, I was half expecting to meet a long-lost European Queen. Certainly, it felt like I was venturing into a world beyond my station. As someone so well known, why would she agree to spend hours with me, all for the Associated Artists Spotlight Blog? But my curiosity spurned me forward. I needed to know how Viktoria Majestic ended up here -East Bend, of all places." |
